Apparently Build-A-Bear Workshop is as excited about the upcoming adaption of The Lion King as we are.

The popular children's toy store has collaborated with Disney to launch a brand-new collection of all our favourite characters from the movie which can be customised it your heart's content. From Simba and Nala to Timon and Pumbaa, the gang's all here!

Tiding us over until the live-action version of the movie hits cinemas on 19th July, the collection doesn't stop at stuffed toys, either - there's a whole range of outfits and accessories for little ones so children will have the ability to make their favourite Lion King character uniquely their own.

There's even the option to add sound tips to your chosen toy too, including 'Nants' Ingonyama' (the 'Circle of Life' chant) or 'I Just Can't Wait To Be King', which is super cute.

What's more, with prices starting at just £4, you can pick up a piece of Disney memorabilia and still have change from a fiver.

If you've been keeping up with Build-A-Bear lately you'll know that the company also recently released a collection inspired by Toy Story 4, and we have no doubt that the latest pride of furry friends will fly off the shelves just as quickly, so you might want to snap one up quick.

So, as we wait to hear Beyoncé's voice as Nala, Donald Glover as Simba and James Earl Jones reprising his original role of Musafa, we'll be feeding our nostalgia with the next best thing.
